Rip roaring Lions fuel community goodness

Through a variety of projects, the group has generated a total of more than $35,000.

Of that sum, $32,651 has been distributed to worthy causes, most within the local community.

Fundraising has been a combined effort from Toko Lions members, their partners and families, along with strong support from commercial sponsors at times.

Toko Lions is "an extremely pro-active and vibrant group of men and women of all ages who revel in serving their community" says Pam, adding they also enjoy the camaraderie at monthly meetings and social gatherings.

"Members pride themselves on their 'can do' attitude and strong support from their local community," she says.

While many organisations face the challenge of declining membership, Toko Lions is going from strength to strength.

The group is in its 36th year and this year's contribution to the community shows the group is more than meeting the challenge of maintaining membership. Pam says they will "continue to serve the community in a vibrant manner".
